Missing Friends

Missing Friends by Thorval Peter Ludwig Weitemeyer is about a Danish emigrant who headed to Queensland behind his parents' back to beginning his reckless travels through Australia. Weitemeyer, sneaking away in the night, meets a variety of interesting characters and adventures with these strange, funny personas. Excerpt: «We worked away hard that day in rehearsals, fitting of dresses, stage making, quarreling, and in a few other things which are indispensable on such occasions. In the evening the whole building was crammed full of English people; there were even some ladies. Our people had all back seats. Everything went well. Our orchestra consisted of three violinists. There were scores of musicians among us, but these were the best and were used to playing together. Then the blanket which served for a curtain went up, and we began to act our parts.»
